Configure the embedded
LDAP server

The embedded LDAP server
contains user, group, group membership, security role, security policy,
and credential map information. By default, each WebLogic Server domain
has an embedded LDAP server configured with the default values set for
each attribute. The WebLogic Authentication, Authorization, Credential
Mapping, and Role Mapping providers use the embedded LDAP server as
their database. If you use any of these providers in a new security
realm, you may want to change the default values for the embedded LDAP
server to optimize its use in your environment.

To configure the embedded
LDAP server:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).

In the left
pane, click the name of the domain you are configuring (for example,
mydomain).

Select
Security > Embedded
LDAP and set the appropriate values.

Click
Save to save your changes.

In the Change Center, click Activate
Changes.

Reboot
WebLogic Server.

Note: The
WebLogic Security providers store their data in the embedded LDAP
server. When you delete a WebLogic Security provider, the security
data in the embedded LDAP server is not automatically deleted. The
security data remains in the embedded LDAP server in case you want
to use the provider again. Use an external LDAP browser to delete
the security data from the embedded LDAP server.
